Dr. Chong's research and consulting focus on developing solutions for building and infrastructure design, engineering, and construction (SBIDEC). The consulting and research focus on (1) knowledge systems and models that integrate codes, standards, regulations, and best practices in civil, fire, electrical, mechanical, green, concrete, structural steel, timber, water, energy, plumbing, and safety. (2) data, information and knowledge-intensive project design, engineering, quality, safety, cost, and time control systems (global and local). (3) resource optimization (of energy, water, raw materials, and carbon) throughout a building and an infrastructure lifecycle includes reliable lifecycle analysis, predictive analytics in engineering, design, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement, and supply chain network. (4) carbon-neutral solutions. Dr. Chong's consulting and research also cover contractors' performance and contracting price evaluations, construction startup, international construction, cultures in construction, union and non-union labor gaps, artificial intelligence, workforce issues, immigration issues, contracting licenses, compensation and salary analysis, training and certification of trades, and labor relations.
- Ph.D. Civil Engineering, University of Texas-Austin 2005

My research focuses on lunar design and construction, sustainability, system optimization, production systems, materials, artificial intelligence, anomalies detection, generative AI, integrating natural language, images and engineering design, building codes, standards, and best practices, regulations and project control. I also conduct research in engineering communications in project, management and systems. My new research focuses on applying mathematical/AI concepts and models to transform and reinvent production systems, material design, life cycle analysis, system designs, project control, supply chain, and operation methods. Potential PhD students should understand these concepts and theories, and be prepared to do coding.
